First Unitarian Church
Tombs, a local band. opened. Good vibe! Then came the tour package: Black Anvil, Nachtmystium, Brutal Truth and Eyehategod. Black Anvil are incorporating a ton of new tunes into their set: Relapse album release set for the fall. Check these guys out, they have a great sound! Nachtmystium played one new one from "Addicts" with its almost completely new (tour?) line-up. Couldn't stay for the two headliners...i'm sure they kicked ass!

Wow that's a good lineup. I didn't even know this tour was going on lol.

But that's a nice set from Nachtmystium. I'm suprised they're not playing more new songs, but then again it did just come out. I think most of the new ones would go over pretty well live.

It's funny because the place that 90% of metal bands who go through Pittsburgh play in, Mr. Smalls Theater, is an old 19th Century or so church. Almost every band I've ever seen play there has made jokes about playing in a church

That's funny. The venue this show was at is seriously the basement of a functioning church, although they usually have hardcore and indie rock shows, as opposed to metal shows.

Solid set, though pretty much the same as when I saw them with Marduk back in November, just with High On Hate in the place of Cold Tormentor (I Become) and no GG Allin cover at the end. I'm looking forward to seeing them on a future tour (hopefully either with Triptykon or headlining; I'd be cool with either).

Who cares - he's been a member for over a year and has eight posts. He's either trolling, or just offering a random opinion that nobody's gonna give two shits about in the future anyway.

For my part, while I admit it took me a while to warm up to Addicts, I'm liking it pretty well now. For that matter, it took me a while to warm up to Assassins, too - and Nachtmystium in general. Their recent EP was actually the thing I liked the most right out of the box, but that's because the songs are so catchy. As a random collection of good bits it was fine, but as an album it rather sucked. That said, I'm glad they're still playing "Hellish Overdose" - that song kicks ass, even if it's not their typical style. "Life of Fire" rocks as well.
